Corporate
[verse 1]
Suit and tie
Monday morning in the same routine
Staring at four white walls
Trying to find meaning
Back to the window
Saying lines I’ve rehearsed
Feigning confidence (I’m confident tonight)
Never knowing
Who’s gonna pull the rug
Guess I got addicted to the rush
[Pause]
Would the boy I used to be recognize the man
What’s my name now?
Business Casual
Think I need a new plan
[Chorus]
Sometimes I feel so stiff
Keep my suit so clean
Used to run wild and free
Now I’m part of the machine
Help! I’m stuck in the elevator
Caught between floors
The alarm keeps ringing
No one hears me scream
“Don’t act out, that’s inappropriate”
Why does everything I wanted
Feel so… corporate?
[verse 2]
The lights went out
And the window reflected
I hadn’t seen that light in a while
I turned around
And saw something different
Loosened my tie; dropped my jacket
I went outside
Something set in
The air was fresh
And I breathed again
Like spring arrived, I’m free again
I’m the man!
The provider
But I still walk the line… I found balance
(Chorus repeat)
[bridge]
Take the trip
Take the weekend
Time won’t wait
Do it while you can
Life doesn’t have to be so… corporate
